One could easily pass by without noticing this small Vietnamese cafe on Stert Steet. Anybody who has not been to Abingdon for a couple of years might remember this as the home of Poppies tearooms – once loved by my mother in law as a traditional tea and scones cafe.

The decor of the Ha Noi is simple with 7 round cafe tables, and the food and service simple and good. We went there for a meal, and took our own bottle of wine to accompany the noodle dishes – which is allowed, and makes the meal very reasonably priced.
